I have always loved the Cobra shape. I also love the new Corvette engines, drivetrain and suspension. I scratch built my replica and used the complete drivetrain, suspension from a 2003 Z06 Vette. I changed the diff from having a transaxle into accepting a driveshaft and went with a T56 6 speed. Although not authentic in any way I love the way the car drives and handles. It also gets 33mpg on the highway. It's also plenty fast. I say if you aren't building an exact replica build it the way you want! It's all good.
